Several states expected to be under second phase of NRP, reports Awani

PETALING JAYA: Perlis, Kelantan and Terengganu are among the states expected to transition into the second phase of the National Recovery Plan, reports Astro Awani.

The report said that a decision to end total lockdown in several states had been agreed by the government based on the Covid-19 infectivity rate in those areas.

The report, quoting sources, said that the transition plan had already been presented to Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin several days ago.

"This is to prevent states that are showing positive developments in terms of recovery but are held back because of the high number of cases in Selangor.

"This is in line with the NRP and not a one size fits all solution," the source was quoted as saying.

The source added that the government was also expected to tighten controls in Selangor.

Under phase two of the NRP, more economic sectors will be allowed to operate.

The country is still under the first phase of the NRP.
